Canyon spirits

John L Ninnemann, Stephen H. Lekson, John McKim Malville

"The Colorado Plateau and the lives of the resourceful people that once occupied these now nearly empty places are the subject of the eighty-five black-and-white photographs and accompanying essays in Canyon Spirits. John Ninnemann's photographs of Chaco, Mesa Verde, and Hovenweep; Cedar Mesa, Grand Gulch, and the San Juan River provide the visual context for Stephen Lekson's descriptions of the early Puebloan cultures of the Southwest and J. McKim Malville's consideration of the power of celestial events in the lives of these people. Together, they provide a non-traditional and visually exciting approach to Southwest archaeology."--Jacket.
